These symptoms can endure for an extended period, lasting several months. Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis represents the most severe manifestation, as it affects the cornea and results in the formation of subepithelial infiltrates. As of now, there is no approved treatment specifically for adenoviral eye infections, so the current approach focuses on providing relief from symptoms. However complications such as subepithelial infiltrates and membranes could be relieved by careful treatment and follow-up. This review describes current management strategies for engaging the complications of adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis. Keywords : Adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis, Subepithelial infiltrates, Tacrolimus
